Finally feeling like my real self again.

Last year I was diagnosed with MDD. I wasn't eating, sleeping, function properly. I was feeling dead inside. Art used to be one of my passions but because of MDD, I didn't have the slightest interest nor intention to create anything.

The meds and therapy helps a lot and here I am picking up my brushes again and feeling happy doing so. No pressure to be perfect. Just enjoying the process again.

Oh wow, nice painting, and your smile looks good from here. Getting a handle on something like MDD is to be commended...great job!

@uncalled4 thank you so much for the kind words, good sir. I struggled but at the same time, I knew I needed help. I took the step and I'm on the mend. Hopefully for good. :)

@mistfox It takes nerve to admit you can't do it on your own. I did CBT and was on some SSRIs for a while. It's under control now. :)

@uncalled4 took me years tho. I didn't realise what I was going through was not normal. It took me contemplating to jump off from a roof top to finally made me realised I needed professional help.

I'm glad you got your demon under control now. I wish you all the goodness in the world. 😊

@mistfox Same here. Years of anxiety attacks and other garbage like that. I finally hit bottom (mentally) and agreed to have meds do what I couldn't. And I was lucky because I wasn't on them too long.
